Babar Azam is currently included among the top batsmen of Pakistan. He is even compared with India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli. However, Babar is nowhere ahead of him. He is the captain of Peshawar Zalmi in Pakistan Super League (PSL). He faced booing during the match against Multan Sultans on Friday.
When Babar sat in the dug out, some spectators were provoking him by calling him 'Zimbabar'. Babar was very angry with this. He made a gesture of throwing the bottle towards that particular group of spectators. However, he did not do so. He stopped midway and sat on his chair. The former Pakistan captain looked quite angry with the trolling done by his countrymen. Its video went viral on social media.
In the viral video, it is seen that Babar picked up the bottle in anger and gestured to throw it towards the fans. However, Babar did not throw the bottle at him.

Why is Babar Azam called zimbabar?: Babar Azam has been a brilliant batsman for Pakistan since his debut in 2015. At one time it was being said that he was ready to take Kohli's place in world cricket. However, in the last two-three years, Babar failed in important matches for Pakistan. Due to this, his reputation has been tarnished due to his shameful performance in big matches.
Babar has played 18 matches against Zimbabwe in all formats of the game and has scored 693 runs at an average of 57.75. The word 'Zimbabwe' emerged from here. The visitors believe that Babar needs a series against Zimbabwe to snap out of his poor form and score some runs.
